NEWNAN, FRIDAY, FEB. 26.
Locals Brought Forward.
Dr. Thos. A. Cheatham, State drug
inspector, was in the city Monday, and
in pursuance of his official duties vis
ited all our drug stores. He not only
inspected the stocks ot drugs, but ex
amined all records required by law to
be kept by dealers and pharmacists.
It is needless to say that he found
nothing to criticize at either of our
drug stores, which he was frank to say
were capably managed and conducted
in accordance with law. Dr. Cheat
ham is a practical pharmacist of many
years’ experience, and a better man
for this important position could not
be found. He left at noon Monday for
Cedartown.
Twelve ladies met at the home of
Mrs. T. E. Atkinson on Thursday af
ternoon of last week and organized a
Study Circle, the membership includ
ing Mrs. T. E. Atkinson, Mrs. W. A.
Wilhoit, Mrs. R. W. Freeman, Mrs.
H. A. Goolsby, Mrs. T. B. Davis,
Mrs. F. M. Bryant, Mrs. Thos. J.
Jones, Mrs. H. A. Hall, Mrs. J. H.
Simms, Mrs. T. F. Rawls. Mrs. A. M.
Norris and Miss Laura Peddy. His
tory and travel will be the general sub
jects of study and discussion, and a
leader will be chosen for each month.
The circle will meet on Thursday after
noons. The next meeting will be held
with Mrs. F. M. Bryant.
Church Notice. — There will be
preaching at Liberty Christian church
next Saturday night, Sunday morning
and Sunday night. The subject for Sat
urday night is, “Esther and Salvation.”
The subject for Sunday morning is,

whale; is there a probation after
death ; was Jesus three days and three
nights in the tomb : some mistakes of
the bible; the imprecatory Psalms,
etc.) The subject for Sunday night is,
“How to Pray.” The regular meeting
time of Liberty church is the fourth
Saturday night, Sunday morning and
Sunday night of each month.
F. B. Powell, Pastor.
Application haB been made for a
charter for the Woodroof Supply Co.,
composed of II. P. Woodroof, D. P.
Woodroof and Mrs. P. L. Woodroof,
the petition in legal form appearing
in this issue of The Herald and Adver
tiser. The company is capitalized at
$5,000, and will deal in farmers’ sup
plies, the Bradley-Banks Co. building
on LaGrange street having been leased
as a place of business. While we wel
come this new enterprise as an impor
tant addition to the city’s commercial
life, our people are also delighted to
know that it will bring to their old
homes as permanent residents Capt. H.
P. Woodroof and his excellent family.
Thus Newnan doubly gains by this ac
quisition, and is proud of it.
An Old Finn Returns Thanks.—In
liquidating our business and forming
the Boone-Stripling Co. we hereby
wish to thank the trading public for
their confidence and liberal patronage
in the past, and to ask a continuance
of same for the new firm. The new
firm will do a spot cash business, to
everybody, and will sell all goods at
the closest possible margin of profit.
In making the -change spoken of we
did not transfer our notes and accounts
to the new' firm. Therefore, all parties
indebted to us will please call at once
and settle with Mr. Boone. The D. W.
Boone Co. will continue in existence un
til all its affairs are wound up.
D. W. Boone Co.,
By D. W. Boone.
Official notice is given by publication
in The Herald and Advertiser this
week that application will be made to
the Secretary of State for a charter
for the “Western of Georgia Railway,”
the new road which it is proposed shall
be built from Franklin via Newnan to
a point at or near Aberdeen, on the A.,
B. & A. road, about 14 miles east of
Newnan. The charter also provides
for an extension of the road westward
from Franklin to the Alabama line,
from which it is inferred that the
road will not stop at Franklin, but be
extended ultimately to some point in
Alabama—-probably Anniston. New
nan will be headquarters for the new
road, and the offices of the company
will be located here. We understand
that something like $3,000 is yet need
ed to enable Newnan to make good her
subscription pledge, and that when this
sum has been raised Messrs. McCord
& Co., the contractors, stand ready to
begin at once the work of construction.
Superior Court Next Week.
The regular spring term of Coweta
Superior Court will convene next Mon
day, and, judging from the size of the
dockets, the session will probably last
the full two weeks.
There are four murder cases to be
tried, in addition to a long list of fel
onies of less degree, and Solicitor-Gen
eral Terrell is likely to have a busy
term. The murder cases are as fol
lows :
Clyde Bolton, for the killing of Mil
ler Jackson in April of last year. This
case was heard at the September term,
but resulted in a mistrial.
Isaiah Wilkinson, for the killing of
Sanford Tucker in December, 1907.
Wilkinson escaped at the time of the
killing, and remained at large until
October of last year, when he was cap
tured and handed over to the law.
Willie Jackson, for the killing of Dol-
phus Calhoun. This crime was com
mitted near Moreland on Jan. 22, 1909.
Rhett Arnold, for the killing of Mar
shall Weaver. This murder was com
mitted in January also, near McCollum.
All the parties named are negroes.
Other offenders in jail awaiting trial
on felony charges are G. E. Norwood
and Geo. Thompson, burglary, (two
cases;) Sog Terrell, assault to murder ;
Rich Lyle, cow-stealing; Gene Stokes,
larceny fram house. A number of
malefactors also charged with felony
offenses are out on bend.
Newnan Boys Making a Reputation.
In the famous Robinson bigamy trial,
which was concluded in Lowndes Supe
rior Court a few days ago, our young
friends, Buford Copeland and O. H.
Dukes, of Valdosta, made consider
able reputation for themselves. It
will be remembered that these gen
tlemen, after taking their degrees in
the law department of Mercer Univer-
! sity last summer, located at Valdosta
j for the practice of their profession.
| Shortly after opening an office in that
j city they were retained as counsel for
j the defense in the case stated above.
! Arrayed against them at the trial were
some of the ablest lawyers in the cir-
jcuit, but from all accounts they sus
tained themselves handsomely. Com
menting uiion the trial, which con
sumed several days, the Valdosta
Times makes reference to defendant’s
counsel in the following complimentary
terms, viz:
“The arguments in the case were
opened by Mr. Dukes, of the law firm
of Copeland & Dukes. It was his
maiden effort before a large audience
in this city, but he acquitted himself
remarkably well.
“Robinson has no reason to feel that
his lawyers did not do their full part for
him. The fight they made was against
big odds, but it was a masterful fight.
Messrs. Copeland & Dukes both acquit
ted themselves excellently in their ar
guments before the jury. The speech
of Mr. Copeland for the defense, which
was begun immediately on the reas
sembling of court in the afternoon,
was considered an unusually able and
eloquent one. The young attorney
showed full knowledge of the law in
its different phases, and presented his
argument in a direct and positive man
ner that, with a better case, must have
had great weight with the jury.”
Congress Memorialized by Coweta
Camp, U. C. V-
At a meeting of Coweta Cam p, U.
C. V., held last Saturday, the question
of memorializing Congress to make an
appropriation to purchase the lands
upon which the first and second Manas
sas battles were fought and convert
these old battlefields into a national mil
itary park, was discussed at consider
able length. It was decided to appoint
a committee to draft resolutions cover
ing the subject and forward copies of
same to our Senators and Representa
tives, with the request that the memo
rial be duly presented to the special
committee of Congress to which the
bill authorizing the purchase of the
land has been referred. Command
er Goodwyn appointed as a commit
tee to prepare the memorial Prof. J.
E. Pendergrast, Col. Geo. H. Car-
mical and Dr. A. C. North, all veter
ans of the old Seventh Georgia Regi
ment, which participated in both the
first and second Manassas fights. The
memorial drafted by the committee is
as follows:
“Whereas, a bill has been introduced
in the Senate of the United States
looking to the purchase by the Govern
ment of the grounds on which were
fought the first and second battles of
Manassas; and
“Whereas, there is not a location
more suitable than those grounds for
the establishment of great military
parks; and
“Whereas, all Southern veterans of
the Civil War favor such purchase:
therefore, be it resolved—
“That we respectfully ask Congress
to authorize the purchase of the
grounds described, and also ask Con
gress to appropriate a sum sufficient
to establish creditable parks on the
same.”

Soldier Balks Death Plot.

that stuck to me, in spite of all reme
dies, for years. My weight ran down
to 130 pounds. Then I began to use
Dr. King's New Discovery, which re
stored my health completely. I now
weigh 178 pounds.” For severe Colds,

WAIT! WATCH! READ!
FAIR WARNING!
Wednesday, March 3, 9 a, m.
Awaking one morning this week our
people were puzzled on finding the
town literally covered with cards bear
ing the above mysterious words. They
were tacked upon every gate and hitch-
ing-post, every street corner, on every
veranda—in fact, every way you turned
this big red warning met your gaze.
What does it mean? Who is this
mysterious night perambulator? Sure
ly not night-riders? Many were the
speculations, but no one could explain.
A number of the boys said they did not
see them when they went home at mid
night, and therefore they must have
been posted between midnight and day.
A Herald and Advertiser man con
cluded to ferret it out, and when find
ing the street and sidewalk in front of
I. N. Orr Co.’s filled with shipping
cases, and all the store force, with ex
tra help, busy opening and arranging
goods, we immediately saddled this
freak upon them. They were ns busy
as bees preparing to put on a big sale,
and were then checking and marking
the stock of Eiseman & Weil, Atlanta’s
big clothiers and furnishers. It seems
so improbable that a Newnan merchant
should undertake, particularly at this
season, to handle the entire stock of
the leading haberdashery of Atlanta,
we asked Mr. Orr for an explanation,
and this is what we got: “Eiseman &
Weil are making some radical changes
in their business, refitting their store
throughout, and discontinuing their
hoys’ and children’s department. Their
manager, know'ing the Orrs personally,
wired them to come up, look the stock
over and make them a bid. Merchants
were there from Rome, Athens and
Macon, and all wanted the lines they
carried, but I. N. Orr Co. was the only
firm submitting a bid for all. They
put in such a ridiculously low bid that
they had no thought of its being ac
cepted. Mr. I. N. Orr, jr., was in At
lanta most of the past week invoicing
the stock.” They will utilize both floors
of both stores to display their pur
chase, carrying their groceries and
heavy supplies to the Kirby-Bohannon
Hardware Co.’s basement during their
sale.
This entire stock will be put on sale
by I. N. Orr Co. next Wednesday at
9 a. m., at about one-third their origi-
cost. See circulars for special
prices.

Miss Foot—“When I marry it shall
be a brave hero who fears nothing.”
Mr. Koot—“I’m sure it will.”
